Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Citrus Unshiu peel extract

In this work, we describe a cost effective and environment friendly technique for green synthesis of silver nanoparticles from 1mM AgNO3 solution through the extract simple and cheap route using peel extract of Citrus Unshiuas reducing and capping agent. Formation of nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Energy Dispersive X-ray EDX), Scanning Electron Microscopic SEM), and FT-IR spectroscopy. SEM analysis showed the silver nanoparticles ranges from 40.18 to 48.73 nm.
